We canât get enough of band merch. Honestly, itâs sorta getting out of hand. Our wishlist has reached crazy lengths and you donât even wanna know how bleak our bank accounts look thanks to the Little Mix tees we just splurged on.
But you know what weâre like, weâre major fangirls and we regret absolutely nothing!
So why do we spend sooooooooo much money on merch? Well, you donât need us to tell you! But, we will anyway⊠just because.
Obvs, what our Mums and people out of the fandom donât get is that merch brings us all together. Itâs a great way to support the bands and artists you love.
Plus, how many new friends have you met after seeing someone wear one of your fave musicians tees? A lot â we bet!
Also a lot of the time, merch makes history! Not the boring stuff you learn about in school, but the really cool kind â like fashion trends and the moment your fave boyband was a five-piece, not a four-piece⊠*coughs* One Direction.
CALLING ALL BELIEBERS! The official Purpose tour merch launches in THIS high street fave next week
The 1975 have just released new merch and youâre gonna want to wear it 24/7
QUIZ: Can you match the artist to their concert merch?
So with that in mind, the team have decided to take a trip down memory lane and hunt down some pieces of merch that have made history in their own unique way.
1. Old 1D tees
Old One Directions tees have obviously made our list. Look how young they all are?  Oh how the boys have grown!
2. One Direction record players
1D are also one of the few bands that have had all kinds of merch released â from makeup to jewellery to mugs to seriously cool record players!
We donât want to go all Dad on you, but weâre assuming this is what Beatlemania was like.
3. Arianaâs Dad caps
Speaking of your old man, Ariana is selling Dad caps!
They may be called Dangerous Tour hats, but letâs face it, theyâre headwear that your Dad would have worn on holiday five years ago.
The funny this is, weâre not completely repulsed by them. Caps are cool again and weâre totally into it.
4. All Time Lowâs rubber bracelets
Ahhhhhh nostalgia!
Any â00s emo kid will know what a BIG DEAL these rubber band bracelets were.
Weâd stack âem up to our elbows and theyâd feature the names and logos of all our fave bands; All Time Low, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco! and soooooo many more.
5. Justin Bieberâs posh as band tees
Biebs has a whole line of merch in Selfridges. Seriously, you can snap up tees like this in there now!
Itâs posh as and makes you wonder what other luxury store collabs will happen in the future. Will we see a fancy range of 1D teapots in Harrods? We hope so, for the lols alone.
6. Lady Gagaâs sweaters
Itâs merch that doesnât look like merch.
*MIND BLOWN*
Lady Gaga, youâre a goddess.
7. Britneyâs âOops I Did It Againâ t-shirt
Britney Spearâs âOops I Did It Againâ tour was in 2001. 16 years later and clothing companies are still selling the t-shirt.
Yaaaaaaaaas, what an icon!
8. Zaynâs âmetalâ tee
Despite being part of one of the worldâs biggest pop groups, Zaynâs tour merch looks like it belongs to a rock or metal band.
Itâs completely badass and we love it.
9. TOPâs âBlurryfaceâ tee
TOP are one of the biggest bands on the planet right now. Obvs, we had to include their âBlurryfaceâ tee to our list. After all, youâll be remembering their logo for years to come.
10. The 1975âs leather jackets
Weâre obsessed with The 1975âs leather jackets. They sold âem in pop-up stores towards the end of last year and, personally, weâd like to see all our fave artists sell more leather items.
Ugh, how cool would an Ariana jacket look!?
11. Melanie Martinezâs buys
Melanie Martinezâs merch is weird and wonderful â we love her for it.
Merch is supposed to be creative, after all, and tbh we just want ALL of hers.
12. Anything Little Mix
Theyâre one of the biggest girl groups to come out the UK. Naturally theyâve made our list.
13. 5SOS friendship bracelets
Although we were rocking those totally emo rubber bracelets back in the â00s, nowadays itâs all about super pretty friendship bracelets.
One of our personal âMUST BUY NOW!!!!!â items is this cute 5SOS one.
